This is a new song that I have written. To listen, please click here:
SOLID GOLD
In times that I look back upon
I see the golden light that shone
But that you would soon be gone
There was no way of knowing
If I had the choice of things to do
With anybody that I knew
I would like to sit with you
And watch the water flowing
But the river bends
And our absent friends
Have moved on out of sight
Into the gentle night
When our yearning blends
With words the spirit sends
The song we sing for them
Is not a requiem
The love we hold
Is solid gold
When our hearts are open wide
Connection cannot be denied
Love will bridge the great divide
And break the chains that bind us
In this world of flesh and bone
We all will reap what has been sown
When we roll away the stone
That’s hiding what’s inside us
You and I are one
Beneath the moon and sun
Just like those olden days
Seen through a golden haze
In the market of
Our pure undying love
The things we sacrifice
Will go to pay the price
What’s bought and sold
We have been told
Is solid gold
I love it. Thanks Brendan. IkeJ

Thanks very much, Ike – I’m glad you like it.
Apologies to Ike, whom I carelessly addressed as ‘Jake’ before editing my comment.
